It seems like your Vasque Breezes aren't too bad. Perhaps a different lacing/knotting system will prevent the heel lift. I'm betting your pinkies are working overtime, too, in trying to reduce the roll of your high arched foot.

Some people benefit from a stiff, full-length-shank boot. It places more of the work on different leg muscles and less on the joints of the feet and ankles. You might try a solid, full-grain backpacking boot - a few are still made. The extra weight may bother you at first, but the feet may complain less. : )

Oh, I forgot to mention that. I tried just about every tying technique I could find. Just ordered full grain leather boots...that are less stiff and have better arch support. We shall see. The Vasques may not sound bad, but they sure felt bad! Certainly wouldn't be able to do a week long trip with them.
